After USMC graduation we were looking for a local place for brunch. We called and were informed breakfast menu items were sold until 2pm. When we arrived there was no wait and we were seated in a booth/table combination. The restaurant has many windows giving the place an airy feel. There are pretty view, too! Our server was Cass- and he did a fantastic job at providing quality service, care, and attention to detail. Cass made our Marine feel appreciated. He provided excellent recommendations, was prompt delivering our order and followed up with care. The food options were of excellent quality - fantastic pairings of flavor and portion size. Best meals of note were: The Dagwood sandwich, chimichurri steak bowls, avocado toast with egg, and the breakfast bowl. To me, everything about that restaurant was authentic, the flavor, the ambiance, and the hospitality. Whenever I visit SC again, I will certainly visit Magnolia Cafe. Kudos to the great dining experience!

Love this little gem of a place! They offer gluten free buns and are very hospitable for allergies. Jake was my server and even though they were busy he was very attentive and sweet. Great Matcha as well!

Stumbled upon this when looking for a brunch spot without a wait on a rainy Sunday. I tried the ricotta toast and frittata special. I’m not the biggest ricotta fan but the toast’s texture and crunch was heavenly. I had to get my blood orange dressing to go, it was that good. I recommend the magnolia signature latte. Would love to come back and sit outside on a sunny day!

This place is amazing all around. From delicious food to very personable friendly servers, our server Savannah was super, to the small-town-cafe decor. I had the grilled veggie sandwich, chickpea and cucumber salad and a chocolate peppermint latte. OMG!!! Hubby is a picky eater and devoured the breakfast bowl.

Such a cute spot with a lovely atmosphere and beautiful water view. Loved my iced latte with the brown sugar cinnamon syrup and the whipped ricotta toast. Can’t wait to come back!

We were in Beaufort for business and stopped into Magnolia Cafe! It was THE BEST stop. The menu is do eclectic and healthy. I had the tropical shrimp, which had an incredible blend of flavors and flavorful shrimp. My husband's Italian sandwich was filled with meats, veggies, and fresh mozzarella cheese. The cranberry pecan salad was delicious. Savannah, our server, was filled with personality and great menu recommendations. This will NOT be our last trip to Magnolia Cafe. We are already planning what to order on our return visit!!!

Wednesday morning meeting with the girls. They opened at 8AM and we were the first customers of the day. Although there is not a huge menu selection for breakfast — there are some pretty unique items to choose from and coffee/tea beverages. Very clean dining area and nicely decorated — with a great view of the bluff.
